Tatum O’Neal: Best Supporting Actress

The 10-year-old became the youngest Oscars winner in a competitive category in 1974.

Tatum took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress for her portrayal of Addie Loggins in Paper Moon.

Anna Paquin: Best Supporting Actress

The Canadian actress who grew up in New Zealand took home the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress at the age of 11 in 1993.

This made her the second-youngest winner in Oscar history after Tatum O’Neal.

Patty Duke: Best Supporting Actress

Patty Duke was 16 when she recreated her stage role as Helen Keller. In the 1963 adaptation of ‘The Miracle Worker.

She received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1963 at the 35th Academy Awards.
